Backwardation


Definition from UBS-Bankfachwörterbuch:
Preisinversion im Warenterminhandel, bei welcher der Kassapreis höher ist als der Terminpreis

Example sentence(s):
  • Backwardation der Terminkurve bei Rohstoffen ist kein modernes Phänomen. Bereits John Maynard Keynes hat in den Dreißigerjahren des 20. Jahrhunderts diese Konstellation untersucht und kam zu dem Schluss, dass Backwardation der Rohstoffterminmärkte etwas ganz Normales ist, daher der Begriff "normal backwardation". - Goldseiten  
  • Diese eher seltene Backwardation-Formation in der Preiskurve spiegelt zum einen das Ende der Heizperiode wider, zum anderen lässt sich daraus eine Markterwartung weniger stark steigender Gasölpreise ableiten. Der Markt rechnet also mit weniger stark steigenden Ölpreisen! - Heizöl24.de
